Doximity Physician Compensation Report, 2025
More than 400,000 women practise medicine in the United States. Every one of them will negotiate a contract.
Tail coverage, notice periods, non-compete radius, cancellation terms — all of it is negotiable, and most physicians are never told which.
Every offer has terms worth arguing with.
Upload a contract and the report comes back in plain language — what each clause costs you, ranked by what matters most.

Page 14 · §9.2 Restrictive Covenant
…the Physician agrees that, following termination for any reason,
Physician shall not provide clinical services within fifty (50) miles of any Company facility for a period of twenty-four (24) months.This restriction shall survive the expiration of this Agreement…
Non-compete: 50 miles, 24 months
Would bar you from most of the metro after leaving.
What to ask for
Ask to cut the radius to 15 miles and the term to 12 months, measured from your primary site only.
Physicians negotiate alone. The other side never does.
Hospitals, staffing firms and private equity-backed groups arrive with legal teams, benchmarks and recruiter playbooks. Physicians arrive with clinical excellence and no negotiation training.

Where the 32 fall

- About the middle of them
- Goes less far than the metros shown
The middle of these 32 is $323,344. A metro is called ahead or behind once it is more than 4% either side of it.
Illustrative figures. Every number here is a modelled placeholder, not published data — and so is the pattern. The generator assumes expensive metros only partly cover their own costs, so this map demonstrates that assumption rather than discovering it. Real figures will come from public wage and price sources and from what physicians report to us, and the picture may look different when they do.
Move quickly. Not blindly.
Contract clarity
Upload any offer. Every clause explained in physician language, not legalese — with the red flags called out by severity.
